Hello Russell,
the functionality to retrieve the logon credentials from the
operating system is very specific to Windows. On Linux,
some projects (Samba client?) implement an extra PAM
(Pluggable Authentication Module) to mimic this behavio.
It's not good style for the OS itself to remember credentials
longer than absolutely required.
In short, you will have to use OS (Windows) specific code,
which will probably have to be plugged in via JNI, the Java
Native Interface.
regards,
Roland

Subject: NTLM Question
Hi,
I am interested in using NTLM for authentication on my Apache based webdav
server.
I am using the Slide client (based on httpclient)
I understand that HttpClient supports NTLM but requires me to supply the
user
credentials.
I want to obtain the user's logon credentials from the OS and avoid
requiring the
user to reenter his userid and password.
Any ideas on how I do that under java.
thanks
Russell Thamm
